The stories about time travelers are very controversial, but you can often find stories on their behalf that in the future humanity will live in floating cities. The oceans will swallow up the entire land due to the melting of ice caps at the poles, and people will build caps at the poles, and people will build their homes right on the water. These predictions are quite realistic, because the glaciers are already melting, and the level of the world ocean is gradually rising. Until these times there are still several hundred, and maybe thousands of years, but houses on the water are becoming more and more popular. The reason is simple: A house on the water is freedom of movement, a sustainable lifestyle and an extraordinary adventure worth experiencing. Let's see what they are, these unique dwellings.

Benefits of houseboats
To begin with, houses on the water are not necessarily an attribute of a luxurious life. In many places in the world, many peoples live in floating shelters. These are mainly fishing settlements, the fishing of which assumes constant proximity to the ocean or sea.
Now the house on the water is becoming a trend among wealthy Europeans. And mind you, not a yacht, but a house, with all its inherent attributes.
By the way, houses on water have an interesting advantage over building on land. And most importantly, there is no need to buy a land plot. A piece of land with a beautiful view can be as expensive as building on it. And on the water it is completely different, there is no need for cadastral registration, land surveyors and so on.
Now such houses are being built not only by private traders. There are successfully completed projects for fishermen, tourists and hunters.
House on a barge or pontoon
Converting an old barge into a house is not a new idea. Such boats are eventually written off and sent for scrap, but with a relatively small investment of funds, you can give the barge a new life in a different capacity. The only caveat is that you need to clean the bottom from corrosion deposits once every couple of years.
Pontoons are large floats that are often used by the military and rescuers to construct temporary crossings.
Houses on the landing stage
Debarkaders are houses on the water, but they are not floating. These are buildings, at the base of which there is a concrete structure, in fact, an artificial land.
Now hotels and restaurants are being built on landing stages, and multi-storey buildings are being erected, almost skyscrapers.
Where are the most houses on the water
Europeans have long mastered this type of construction, and they already have quite a lot of experience. For example, in Holland there are at least 10 thousand floating houses, and for such a small country this is quite a lot. Moreover, more than two thousand of these houses are located near Amsterdam.
This type of construction is also popular in France. These houses are considered full-fledged housing, the cost of which is from 100 to 300 thousand euros.
Houseboats in Russia
We are still developing this direction, and the demand for houseboats is not breaking records. Nevertheless, floats can be found in many regions. They become a temporary shelter for the owners in the summer on vacation.
The cost of building such a house today is about 70 thousand rubles 1 m2. An expensive pleasure, and mainly because few firms take on such projects. But there are craftsmen who build such objects with their own hands:
